American Criminal

Elise and Marissa grew up in a seemingly normal house in the suburbs of St. Louis, but it was a house built on secrets. There were things their father never told them—like how he really made his money. One night, the police showed up with questions. Hours later, the sisters turned on the TV and saw something surreal: their father in the middle of a police chase. The local news identified him as a notorious fugitive: “The Boonie Hat Bandit”. The girls were stunned. Their dad had been living a double life. How long had he been lying to them? What had he done? And who, exactly, was their father? Deep Cover: The Family Man is a story about the way parents deceive their children and the crimes a desperate father will commit to save his family. It’s also a story about justice—and the question of what punishment these crimes deserve.

Like some of his comrades in the fight against abortion in America, Eric Rudolph claimed membership in the Army of God, a mysterious, structureless underground group with one clear organizing principle: violence against abortion providers was justified and righteous. Looking at his heroes from within the movement, Eric was disappointed to have not claimed more lives in the war, so in 1998, he planned to make a decisive, deadly blow against his opponents.
